I guess that is why there is not ONE bankster or politician in jail for this financial mess we are in. yet we have the highest percentage of our population in prison than any other country in the world..

I think that was originally said in the context of a jury trial. So, since we've had like 1 bankster (Quattrone) go to criminal trial for the financial blowup, it's probably not an apt analogy. There should be a corollary that says, "In America, we would rather not even try to convict anyone who will hire a lawyer who will make DOJ's life difficult or who whose industry has completely captured directly or indirectly the legislative and regulatory apparatus."
